The CIHR Doctoral Research Award and Fellowship programs now follow the ResearchNet eApproval process. The eApproval process allows Administrators at an Institution Paid to review and electronically approve applications for which the applicant has identified their institution as the Institution Paid. Once the applications are approved, the Institution Paid will be submitting the applications electronically to CIHR on behalf of the applicant.

Applicants selecting UPEI as the Institution Paid must submit a copy of the application two working days in advance of the CIHR deadline to the Faculty of Graduate Studies (AVC 2350N) for institutional review and approval. UPEI will submit approved applications electronically to CIHR.
